This project only uses about 1/8 yard, so I could choose the non-clearance fabric.
It was a very simple venture, requiring no pattern ... I don't do difficult sewing. The most time-consuming part was the ironing. When I pulled out the iron my daughter said, "wow mom, you never use the iron!"
I cut apart the strap from my old 35mm camera to use the hardware, cringe, lined the inside of the fabric with fleece for comfort. My favorite feature is that I made it hip length. My other strap was a neck strap, which was too short to sling across my shoulder/chest. Now I can use it without taking it off.

I've seen those camera straps on etsy too. I want one but I'm too THRIFTY. (See how different words make cheap sound better?) Maybe I'll make one...
Great job! I bought one of the straps last year off of Etsy and love it. They really help the neck. lol
Love that you made the strap longer!
Trying desperately not to a)covet the strap and b)compare my lack of creativity to your overflowing fount thereof.
Wicked cool, GOTE. :)
Girl, that is adorable! Love the fabric.
It turned out great! Ahem, Mother's Day is coming...
Shut the window and call me Edgar.
That is so stinkin' cute.
You are a rockstar.
No, seriously.
A rockstar.
I think what impresses me most is that you knew how much fabric you would need. I always get three yards, no matter what I'm doing (which is usually creating a disaster, but that's a story for another day).
